**Advanced Biology Project: Season Ending Injury**
Hello Everyone, I am very excited to be presenting this lesson to all of you. I have been doing this project for the last four years with my Advanced Biology classes at GNA. I use edmodo to help facilitate this project in my classes. I am going to be using edmodo as an interactive part of my presentations. I have login information for you but you can get to edmodo by clicking the following link: [|http://www.edmodo.com].

This project is used to help pull together ideas from about four different topics so the students can see how they are interdependent ideas. So, after learning anatomy and muscular systems students are assigned a project to create sports cast documenting a season or career ending injury. The product is performed using Flip Video Cameras and iMovie on Apple laptops. Each group has four participants: the athlete, the doctor, the reporter and the director/camera person. The project uses technology and project based learning to bring human anatomy into a relevant context for a high school student.

In conclusion I would like ot thank all of you for your participation. I would also like to welcome any comments and questions about my lesson because I feel that there is always room for imporvement.

Thanks Again,

Dave Prushinski
